i need an honest opinion... here are my choices...
Our school does this french exchange program where a french kid comes and stays with us for two weeks and then i go to france for two weeks in april. but...
April is when i do my annual trip to Utah for some shredding.
so two weeks in france with some real good friends,or skiing in utah for a week just my dad and i.
any opinions would be greatly appreciated!!   : )

I feel like you should take the opportunity to go to france. It's a win win either way, can't go wrong spending some quality time with your dad skiing, however, how often do you get the choice to go to france?

I'm faced with the same dilemma. Like pretty much exactly the same because I'm doing the same exchange as you. Who are you? haha

you probably wont get another opportunity to be a forgein exchange student in france. if you are really interested in going to france do that cause you will always be able to ski

i did this exchange trip to france, and it was the best most memorable trip of my life. Plus i live i Utah now moved from Vermont.

moral of the story, you can always go to utah. but France is france.

go to france. i did the same exact thing last year, 2 weeks there in april. where abouts you going? is it early april? i got to ski, but the 2nd week was the last that they were open. but just being in france in general was sooo sweet. so worth it. although i did miss gayper day....

Definitely France!  Going abroad is way more of an opportunity than skiing for a couple weeks, although it would be pretty fun.  That, and Utah is the antithesis of culture.
